Props to the devs, I love the current patch.

Haven't looked at any data yet but it feels much better than before. Lethality carries stackers can be dealt, the new Black Cleaver and its component make my bruisers finally feel bruisery and not glass cannon-ish, new Cho is super fun, I can play a lot of things in the toplane without feeling like it gets outclassed in every way by meta champions . . . it's nearly perfect.

Not only that, the next patch seems promising aswell. I like the changes to BotRK already, the mini-rework to Aatrox, finally a nerf to Exhaust, the reworks of Bond of Stone and Warlord's all seem like they would improve the game.

If you compare it to the horror the game was shortly after th beginning of the season you can clearly see how it has improved.

The Warlord's rework is actually a pretty big nerf from the current Warlord's unless you're using the movement speed to kite. With the current Warlord's, you get more healing over time, where the new one has you get a burst of 50% on a single auto, which seems like a lot, but you get more than that in the duration of the fight with current Warlord's.

I expect that, next patch, the META will shift a bit more to crit ADCs who have bad early games, but start Long Sword and upgrade it to Vamp Scepter and buy a Pickaxe first back. That Pickaxe then gets turned into an Infinity Edge, they get their triple crit, maybe third item a Last Whisper and then their last crit item, and then upgrade Vamp Scepter into either BoRK or Bloodthirster and finish Last Whisper into LDR. Also, I expect my rat to come back into flavor Twitch (sneaky sneakyyy...)

As a support main:

Still grumpy about the nerf to Exhaust (speaking as a support main, I am so looking forward to my carries saying "WTF!?! Support is KSing." as I am forced to go back to Ignite).
The Meditation nerf as a support hurts badly (plus I can see the Yasuo types just trouncing their mana-based opponents in the non-bot lanes now - combined with the Fervour buff it's even worse than just a Meditation nerf alone).
So looking forward to the games going for still longer because of the Mastery tweaks :|
Sooo, looking forward to more Teemo abuse with those trap changes :|
The experience buffs are going to encourage more hammy play by bad players (which is going to make life for supports even more unbearable - e.g., "Hey support! Get over here - why are you warding? ARAM on midlane.")
My Maokai is not happy.

Don't normally complain but not a happy camper.
